Roger, just a small point to qualify the issue of "... hospitalization until radiation levels are acceptable ..."

It appears some regulations have changed recently. See the info below and the associated caveats re. particular hospital, state regulations, etc.

The September 23, 1996 issue of BioCentury contains an interesting "he says/she says" type of discussion with each company (IDEC & Coulter) making the case for their respective isotope (Yttrium vs. Iodine). Maybe this was discussed here eons ago.

From Coulter's most recent 10K form "" Although patients
to date have been kept in the hospital to monitor radiation levels for up to
three days following the therapeutic dose, under recently enacted regulations of
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Company believes that the B-1 Therapy can
be administered primarily on an outpatient basis. However, some hospitals may be
required to administer the therapeutic dose on an inpatient basis under their
own or under applicable state or local regulations.""
